To remove the external handle of the Audi A3, open the door to access the side screw, which must be completely removed. Next, loosen all the screws securing the door panel to its housing.

By detaching the panel, you can locate the screws that secure the door actuator mechanism from the inside. By removing this mechanism, you can slide the handle out of its housing, replace it with a new one, and then check that everything functions correctly.
